Masks Off Hooray

I could not wait to get rid of my mask, kicking it into the street.
Entire elementary school was giddy, getting rid of them was a treat!
We saw the smiles of students we have not seen for an entire year.
I am so glad to tear this mask off, nothing at this point do I fear.

I am not yelling “come and get me Covid” but I feel a bell should ring.
I feel like a real person again, and it makes me happy enough to sing.
We are high-fiving each other, and dancing and skipping toward class.
I hope if they ever want masks again, this awful urge will quickly pass.

They are all afraid (as were Nixon and Carter). ~ Just sayin' Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/28/2022 2:03:00 AM I have to admit Covid is back in our schools, and this time it is not the adults who are getting it, which makes it worse.

Probably won't in my life time. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/27/2022 10:44:00 AM We have two new cases of Covid-19 in our school this week. GRRRR.
